Your writing reveals a remarkable shift in time and memory. The Tamnako Tuy Shopping Center, which was once the main center of conversation, music, and social interaction for the young generation, is now very quiet due to the economic crisis and the closure of shops. The experience of overcoming your shyness after graduating from high school and making friends, learning the guitar, and improving your social skills in this place is quite important. Your descriptions and pictures show a real picture of how memories of people's lives are intertwined with the change of place. Especially the comparisons of the former bustling environment with the current empty chairs, closed pizzerias, or unused telephones better explain the current emptiness of the place. I think that the soul of a city or place is not its infrastructure, but the people who gather there. Your story is clear proof that even a magnificent place can become a quiet square surrounded by memories when people and their noise decrease. Good luck to you in this contest. 😊
